This is a bassoon obbligato in classical concerto style!
Performance time 12 min.
In Padua, there is a score of this aria with only the voice, bassoon and
continuo parts but with added bassoon cadenzas .
(Archivio Musicale della Capella Antoniana Padova D IV n.1465).
(This aria is in Naumann's Padua 1767 setting of La Passione,
but is not in the 1787 Dresden version.)
It is notable that at least four composers wrote bassoon obbligati for tenor
arias in their settings of Metastasio's La Passione.
Naumann and Salieri: Pietro “Se a librarsi in mezzo all’onde incomincia il fanciulletto”
Paisiello: Giovanni “Dovunque il guardo giro”
